Usage

Configuring your IDP server is beyond the scope of this document. There are many different approaches and this will most likely be done by IT staff. It's assumed here that you already have a running IDP server which supports SAML 2.0.

http://wso2.com/WSO2 is a popular single sign-on implementation. It's open source and is easy to get started with but is also highly configurable.

Installation

There isn't much that you need to do in your application to be a SAML client. Add a dependency in `BuildConfig` for this plugin:

dependencies {
        …
        compile ("org.springframework.security.extensions:spring-security-saml2-core:1.0.1.RELEASE") {
            export = false
        }
}
plugins {
   …
   compile ':spring-security-saml:2.0.0'
}

The plugin dependencies can be downloaded if you have a proxy server by using the following option "-DPROXY_SERVER_NAME=http://<server>:<port>/nexus/content/groups/public". This is not mandatory.
